When you travel as much as I do, you learn there are some things you can never be prepared for....like a riot in Vancouver. Lucky for me I wasn't there the night it happened, but when I arrived the next day you could see the upsetting aftermath. Although it was a quick 36 hour trip, I managed to try out one of the hottest new restaurants in Chinatown, Bao Bei. For more info visit Vancouver magazine Scout, which shows some amazing pictures and also gives a great glimpse into this restaurants amazing cuisine.

Travel brought me to Vancouver. Lucky for me I missed the riot by a day....

Bao Bei means "precious" in Mandarin

Trixie the "mixologist" has inspired me to learn how to make a creative cocktail

As an Auntie, I try to keep my camera handy and ready for any potential photo ops. My nephew Drew B turned one a few weeks ago. It was a special day for me, as it had been awhile since I'd seen my nephews.

My initial goal was to take tons of pictures of Drew & Tyler, but I quickly got sidetracked with taking pictures of men (including my husband) playing with bubbles.
